How good is Hayley going! A new star on the rise with a big winning smile and great personality Got caught out as most Apps do when easing down her beaten mount before the winning post and got 3 weeks hols!

Great example of the thoroughbred...as they say But seriously, Messara needs to get a grip talking about being "in a state of shock" when talking about a 23 yo horse

Reads a bit desperate to be fear Nothing good ever comes out of Freezing az f Ballarat either But as we know...never write off the Blinker effect!

So apprentice Abdul Najib goes nuts on KOYAMA...decides to CHEAT when he's off the pace 11 strikes before the 100M when 5 is allowed...and gets up to win after a total of 13 strikes NZTR "we're going to follow the international thoroughbred 'trends' on these whip rules" pfftttt...France a max 4 strikes...Britain 6... Outrageously, he cops only 2 Sth island days from the weak as fuck RIB and gets to keep his ill gotten riding fee Pitman's over the moon as well when he gets to keep his CHEATING half as well

Of course counting then having to line up the 100M pole WAS indeed ridiculous...that's what I told Darren at NZTR and they agreed to change to either 7 strikes before the 100M then only a further 3 allowed...also 6/4 split If Jockeys cant count to 10 in total but decide to CHEAT by using 8 before the 100M imho they're doing it on purpose. EVERY sport has rules...especially wagering sport...counting cards in Casinos gets you DQ'd and probably fitted with concrete boots on the way to Davey Jones locker Max Verstappen ( a flawed genius) should've been Black Flagged when deliberately driving into George Russell....a highly dangerous exhibition in a fit of pig headed pique Another flawed genius, Opee cheated the system when swapping pee with another jockey who was probably unfit to ride after taking drugs In Opee's last year of riding he was singled out by Australian journos for his selfish dangerous ride in a G1 there...our Adjudicators said in another charge "Mr Bosson’s record is troubling for a senior, very experienced and prominent Rider. It has to be taken into account also, as aggravating. He did not contend, or seek, any discount for admitting the breach and in any event, none would have been granted, as any defence would have been futile, and he did not express any remorse or contrition" When Matthew Cameron CHEATED to G 1 glory on LICKETYSPLIT in the Sistema he said "it does look bad" then flippantly added "I do have an amazing record though"..he shat all over the integrity of Black Type and thus the Stud Book 3 Consecutive a break then 4 consec in the last 8 strides IS CHEATING Wake the f up

One could be forgiven for losing count of the number of whip cheats since the New Year....anyone wondered why Lily, Tayla and Sam Wynne have gone awol for such long periods? It's a litany of abuse and non compliance with NZTR complicit with their limp wristed response to 'rules ok' For example when Tayla Mitchell abused the whip rule for the 4th time in six months the Adjudicative panel (made up of ex Auckland Region Cop Superintendent Gavin Jones no less) 'suggested' she get help from Noel Harris and the Rider Skills Panel Nek minute she offends again, twice in one day, both 8 strikes before the 100M whence Jonesy akses "Tayla, did you complete your course with the RSP as we advised??" No of course she didn't, you see it wasn't compulsory because the RIB/NZTR don't really give a damn about cheating if Tayla's bad Sam Wynne is the poster child of cheating From her latest rap sheet 'hard talk' "Miss Wynne is due to start a combined 13 national day suspension following today’s racing for breaching the Whip Regulations. The system must send a clear message that repeated disregard for the Rules won’t be tolerated. The Adjudicative Committee is running out of patience for Miss Wynne to improve her whip use and finds an uplift from its previous imposed penalty of 7 days last week, to a 9-day suspension, to be appropriate in the circumstances of this breach." What they failed to mention is Wynne rarely moves from the South and this 'land of hard knocks' penalty only includes @4 days of Sth island racing. Instead of being hard and fining her the 'required 50% of her fee in a Black type race, $75, they let her off!!! I'm not down on females only though Take Brett Murray when winning on Pitty's ALMANAC last month...8 strikes before the 100M when 5 allowed...and close to the line 2 cumulative to get the job done by a neck...would've have been DQ'd in enlightened countries like Britain and France... Here the owners get to keep their ill gotten gains and of course the 'punt' money...who knows, are these 'punters' telling jockeys beat the hell out of it and we'll look after you?? Also, because Big Dave started crying to Oatham about Opee being rubbed out over Karaka weekend, they now split cumulative and the number allowed for aggravated penalties EXPEDIENCE personified right there, no wonder then the EPIC cheating continues on while NZTR/RIB ignores INTEGRITY

Imagine the utter waste of money when so many got rolled out then binned? Good old Tim, bless his cottons, STILL lists the pen reading on his twitts feed while swearing like a trooper when he has to list Soft 5 NZTR thinks they can treat punters with total disregard When pointed to the likes of Racing.Com, where I can click any horse's last 5 starts and the rail position, they scoff Hell, the ignorami at NZTR wont even provide punters with a last rail position for a current meeting "look it up yourselves then eat some cake you lazy peasants"

Interesting....this is what Hunty said before the meeting...giving the punters the 'good oil' "the most recent meeting 3/4 weeks ago where the rail was in a similar position (if you call similar 3m out I guess) the pen was an 8 that day...if you worked off the flat races...jockeys elected to go fairly wide early on with the inside barriers being a slight knock...so working off the previous meeting here...you'll go well when working out the track conditions" FFS..go well go broke... standing nervously alongside is Sweenz who mentions the 3m of new ground..."whether they use that early on or go centre and out from the off'...who the f knows They certainly didn't Maybe they listened to the track manager when Sweenz interviewed him " that 3M of new ground, use that early??...."yea na...they'll be heading straight out to the middle of the track and getting wider mate' And they wonder why Kiwi punters have buggered off to the Maldives for the winter I've been banging on for years about the appalling lack of information NZTR 'provide' Not even a last meeting rail position when giving us b/s moisture readings which have ZERO relevance to pen readings and the numerical system The suits then thought we should adopt the bullshit Oz track ratings which now include an EXTRA Heavy rating...so 3 instead of 2 previously...where 1 and 2 still exist even though it's never used....while 11 and even 12 (according to a Jock at Rotorua last time there) is not allowed to be used....God in Himmell Correct moi if I'm wrong but don't punters HATE gambling on Heavy tracks?? So why would NZTR provide another level of 'dont bet'?? The poor Ockers could be forgiven for thinking its ALWAYS raining in Kiwiland...especially in Auckland where the track is always SOFT As Guerin, Tim Mills and Butch Castles keep saying "labelling a track a SOFT 5 is absolute fucking nonsense" hear fucking hear

How could the Jumping Association reps pass those Steeple 'fences'? One could plainly see on Trackside horses landing on an incline rising from from the base of the fence first law of physics Something about a uniform motion will stay that way unless an external force...read unlevel ground...catapults 2 jockeys into the air like a shanghi after said horse's placement of front feet results in "four horses landing awkwardly"

"raced fair" Raced fear actually That's what happens when you give leaders 3M of fresh ground to run on though Jonathan Kevin Bamber Riddell "the track was rubbish outside 3M" Old mate Bamber knows a thing or two

Oh cmon @Chief Stipe we're all adults here! Well most are... It's spelt greek not Greek..I'd have thought you'd known that!

Doh! The Breadmakers

What's your current ROI

Still have a very big Face Book following Even have a slot on The leg Up Interesting TLU boys, Stephen Hunt, Popplewell list their ROI's and %'s Both doing very well in the new season BGP have @4 tipsters including Andy Lacy aka self titled GOAT...lol Kemey's tipping is problematic imho...they simply dont bother with any ROI's etc

Lurve 'Ladies' and their days You know the saying...'when the Ladies come out to play the boys will follow' The advice I'd give young women race goers though... Pick your professions wisely when it comes to looking for a 'mate' Avoid narcissistic, controlling type professions Fireman, Police, Military, Surgeons and Pilots Apparently they have a "nuke the earth then scorch it..how dare you challenge me kind of approach to Litigation" I'd probably add jockeys to that mix as well seeing as they're going racingl...something about small and syndromes

Apparently the Greeks are as well...are you one or do you just enjoy greek?

Last time I arksed Kemeys he told me 16%...mostly partners of boys Do you have Granddaughters? Ask them if they'd join a club called BOYS Get PAID When Racing needs every bit of help it can get why would you disenfranchise a group ffs? #oldeschoololdefool

Of course their moniker 'Boys Get Paid' has major issues with generation Alpha and women in general with the suggestion of getting 'laid' It's olde school and time has moved on Australia have a punters club for women..Ladies Who Punt https://podcasts.apple.com/nz/podcast/ladies-who-punt/id1609919643 BGP could combine IP, change the olde boys network and really make a bigger impact rather than "swingin' c##ks as someone pointed out

...oh..and the WEALTHY of course!! Just how good are the 'wealthy' for our industry though eh? If it wasn't for the Brendon's and Jo's of this thoroughbred world we'd be up sheet creek Jo, who sent Brendon off with a cut lunch everyday when working out of their garage and before selling Sistema for $660M, has gone on to grow the Lindsey Foundation with an emphasis on animal welfare...Riding for the Disabled, Guide Dogs et el as well...how good? Then the salt of the earth Temuka lad, Mr. Ritchie of Ritchie's Buses, decides to retire and is at a loss with what to do with his many millions "Why not buy a race horse" he said to his wife That was only 4 years ago...20 horses with Chris Waller and 6 or so with Andy Carsons later, he buys the big O's sister for 2.4M Our industry is littered with the wealthy who made good and wanted some fun On the reverse side, thank goodness the likes of Eric Watson got out before the industry was tarred by his presence. Bloodstock investor Owen Glenn getting his revenge on the business deal that went wrong with poor Eric ending up in the Grey Bar Hotel, then charged with insider trading in the US...how the mighty fall sometime If only we could get Graeme Hart interested in bloodstock instead of useless mega boats and their jacuzzi's

Funny you should mention "instant" When John Craig was dribillerating over the Puke cockup he'd taken fully 6 minutes to sort all placings out before he posted the b/s result Oatham made the excuse that the Puke Judges box is a long way from the Stipes, hence no input from RIB in this case, as often happens evidently In that 6 minutes Brady could've walked up to the long drop and sorted out the spat between the 'Judge' and his camera operator What gets really interesting is the possibility that the Boxing Day inside camera for Yaldi's race, which was set at the wrong angle, could be the problem in this instance and contributing to the massive fight between the operator and 'judge'?? With the RIB still refusing to comment on both balls ups their "we're transparent" moniker isn't worth the toilet paper it's scribbled on

At least they're consistent When PHELEN THE POWER won in '23... 1.22.76 on a S5 The main point..using the default as an SOFT 5 is NUTS isn't it? Are our horses now so delicate they can't race on a G3? Why have they got a G1 rating which NEVER happens apart from Towpaw in a blue moon And got rid of H11...which happens often in winter?/

Yes Jeff Lloyd similar Did they teach this style in SA as well?

Stipes ALWAYS ask Jockeys after every race what they think the track rating is 1.38 1600M a G3 na What's Walshy got to do with it...did he say a G3?

I got the impression he was more referring to the starting track rating for the day on tracks throughout the season G 4 is still the old EASY after all Pitty trains his steeds to love hard ground evidently N.B the Cup was still officially run on a SOFT 5 Nothing about 'retrospectively' which they use if they think the race was run on something differently So they irrigated it to an H 8 (with 1ml rain Thursday night) and had 8 races on a SOFT 5 Seriously, no wonder Pitty was spitting tacks
